Definitions

  • the invention relates to a maneuvering drive for a trailer.
  • This trailer can be, for example, a caravan, a boat trailer, a horse trailer, a market trailer or the like. This is usually pulled by a tractor.
  • a car is usually used as a tractor for a caravan. To bring the trailer into its final position, for example on a campsite, it is usually uncoupled from the tractor and pushed into the final position by hand.
  • this is often associated with greater efforts, since the greater the demands placed on the comfort of such caravans, their weight also increases.
  • a maneuvering drive is an auxiliary drive which usually has a drive unit with an electric motor for each wheel of the trailer.
  • the electric motors are supplied with electrical energy by a battery in the trailer and can be coupled to the wheels of the trailer in order to drive them and thus maneuver the trailer.
  • the maneuvering drive must only be able to be activated when the trailer is uncoupled from the tractor. If an attempt were made to move the trailer by means of the drive units as long as it is coupled to the tractor, this can lead to damage to the tractor and / or the trailer. In addition, it must be ensured that the drive units are detached from the wheels of the trailer when the trailer is coupled to the tractor in order to be moved by the latter; otherwise the drive units, the trailer and / or the tractor unit could be damaged due to the braking effect of the drive units.
  • the EP 1 679 251 A2 describes a maneuvering drive for a trailer, wherein two wheels can be driven by drive units when these are in engagement with the wheels.
  • movement of the drive units is blocked or reversed so that the drive units cannot engage the wheels when the trailer is pulled by a tractor.
  • an alarm signal issued which should indicate that the drive units have been blocked.
  • the object of the invention is to create a maneuvering drive in which a user is prevented from inadvertently coupling the trailer to the tractor and then leaving the drive units in a maneuvering state in which they attack the wheels of the trailer.
  • a maneuvering drive for a trailer is created according to the invention, with a controller and several drive units, which are assigned to the wheels of the trailer, the drive units between an inactive state in which they are not in engagement with the wheels of the trailer, and a Maneuvering state are adjustable in which they are in engagement with the wheels of the trailer, the controller having a monitoring module that monitors at least one state parameter and generates a warning when at least one drive unit is in the maneuvering state and the state parameter indicates that the trailer is to be moved by means of a tractor.
  • the status parameter is a signal from a drawbar socket that a drawbar plug has been removed from the drawbar socket and / or a remote control for controlling the maneuvering drive is switched off.
  • the invention is based on the basic idea of performing a plausibility check by means of the monitoring module. If a status parameter is detected, which usually indicates that the trailer should no longer be maneuvered, the operator is informed by the warning.
  • the maneuvering process should usually be ended by returning the drive units to an inactive state. If this is not done, the operator can be reminded of this by the warning. It does not matter if the warning is generated not only after the trailer is coupled to a tractor, but also after completion of a maneuvering process with which the trailer was maneuvered away from a tractor to a parking position; Since the drive units are not intended as a replacement for a parking brake and a proper securing of the trailer against rolling away, the warning does not harm in this case either.
  • the warning can be a sound or a vibration signal.
  • the two signals can either be generated directly in the drive units, for example by targeted control of the rotors of the drive motors of the drive unit in such a way that they execute small oscillating movements around a central position.
  • the warning can alternatively or cumulatively also be generated in the remote control itself.
  • the remote control remains active for a predetermined period of time after a switch-off signal. This enables the remote control to generate the warning in the form of, for example, a vibration signal, a light signal or a sound signal, even after the operator has given a switch-off command.
  • a trailer 10 (here a caravan) is shown schematically, which has a frame 12 to which a body 14 is attached. Furthermore, two wheels 16, a drawbar 18 and a coupling 20 are provided. With the coupling 20, the trailer 10 can be coupled to a tractor. An auxiliary wheel 22 is attached to the drawbar 18 and serves to support the trailer 10 in the uncoupled state.
  • a drive unit 24 is assigned to each wheel 16 of the trailer 10.
  • Each drive unit 24 has a drive motor 26, which is usually as Electric motor is designed, as well as a drive roller 28 which can be driven by the drive motor 26.
  • the drive roller 28 can be brought into engagement with the associated wheel 16 of the trailer 10.
  • a central unit 30 which serves as a central control for the drive units 24 and is also responsible for communication with an operator. This can be done, for example, via a schematic in Figure 1 Remote control 32 shown, for example, specify straight-ahead travel or cornering.
  • a voltage source 34 is provided in the trailer 10, by means of which the central unit 30 and the drive units 24 can be supplied with electrical energy.
  • the voltage source can be a power pack that is connected to an external socket, or an energy storage device that is located on board the trailer.
  • the energy store 34 is usually an accumulator, colloquially often referred to as a battery.
  • the drive motors 26 are connected to the central unit via connecting lines 36.
  • at least one control line 38 is provided for each drive unit, said control line extending from the central unit 30 to each drive unit 24.
  • the drive units 24 together with the central unit 30 form a maneuvering drive with which the trailer 10 can be moved.
  • the drive rollers 28 are brought into engagement with the wheels 16 of the trailer so that when the drive motors 26 rotate they drive the wheels 16. This is basically known from the prior art.
  • a single-axle trailer is shown here as an exemplary embodiment.
  • the trailer 10 accordingly has two wheels 16, each of which is assigned a drive unit 24.
  • the same maneuvering drive can also be used with a two-axle trailer.
  • a total of only two drive units can be used, so that there is one driven and one non-driven wheel on each side of the trailer, or two drive units can be used on each side of the trailer so that each wheel of the trailer can be driven.
  • a monitoring module 39 is integrated into the central unit 30, which represents the control for the drive units, with the various status parameters of the maneuvering drive can be monitored.
  • One of the status parameters comes from a drawbar socket 40 into which a drawbar plug 42 can be inserted.
  • the drawbar plug 42 can be plugged into a tractor socket so that various lighting circuits of the trailer, for example rear lights and brake lights, can be connected to the corresponding electrical circuits of the tractor via a cable 44.
  • the drawbar socket 40 is provided.
  • the drawbar plug 42 In order to be able to activate the maneuvering drive after the trailer 10 has been uncoupled from the tractor, the drawbar plug 42 must be plugged into a receptacle 46 of the drawbar socket 40. Only when this is recognized, for example via a sensor 48 which is connected to the central unit 30 by means of a release line 50, can the drive rollers 28 be moved from an initial state in which they do not engage the wheels 16 of the trailer 10 to an activated state in which they are in engagement with the wheels 16 and can drive them.
  • the monitoring module 39 detects that the drawbar plug 42 is being pulled out of the drawbar socket 40 as long as the drive rollers 28 are in engagement with the wheels 16, this is interpreted as an unscheduled state to which the operator is made aware by means of a warning.
  • This warning can in particular take the form of a vibration and / or sound signal that is generated by the remote control 32 (see the schematic in FIG Figure 1 indicated signal S).
  • a light signal can be generated on the drive units.
  • Another status parameter which is classified as critical by the monitoring module 39 is that the monitoring module 39 detects the switching off of the remote control as long as the drive rollers 28 are in engagement with the wheels 16 of the trailer 10. If the maneuvering drive is operated correctly, each maneuvering process ends with the drive units being returned to their inactive state, in which the drive rollers 28 are released from the wheels 16. If the maneuvering drive is switched off before the drive units 24 have been returned to the inactive state, there is a risk that the operator will couple the trailer to the tractor and in the process forget to return the drive units to the inactive state. A warning is also generated in this case. It is advantageous that the Remote control 32, although an operator has switched it off, actually remains active in the background for some time in order to enable the monitoring module 39 to generate the warning signal S, for example a light and / or a sound signal, via the remote control.
  • the warning signal S for example a light and / or a sound signal
  • the warning signal can also be generated elsewhere than in the remote control 32.
  • a warning tone can be generated in the central unit 30. It is also possible that the central unit, when the monitoring module 39 considers a warning to the operator to be displayed, controls the rotors of the drive motors so that they execute an oscillating movement around a central position at such a frequency that the movement is perceived as a sound signal .
